From the wording that was used it is possible the news will be related to Minecraft Hololens and fans of Minecraft, Microsoft and gadget lovers will no doubt be scrambling to hear the news later this year just in case it is Hololens related.

There’s no news yet on a potential release date for the Hololens which, based on the demonstration, looked to be well into production.

MineCon will be held in London this July, 4-5th. Both batches of tickets have already sold out and hopefully the news Microsoft has promised will be quickly available to those who are not attending.
